2-4 JCI100
The JCI100 (See Figure 2-4.1) provides an
interface between the Johnson Control’s
network and the Cutler-Hammer panelboard.
The JCI100’s only function is to operate as a
slave to the Metasys controller. Conse-
quently it has no inherent intelligence or
storage capacity. In addition, the JCI100
does not provide any ability to terminate
switch inputs/outputs to it. The components
and functions of the JCI100 are further
described in section 4 of this document.
----CAUTION---
Remove all power to the 5X Chassis at
the secondary power switch before
installing or removing the JCI100.
Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to the unit and may void any
existing warranty.

2-5 RAIL INTERFACE BOARD (RIB)
The RIB is a printed circuit board that is
anchored to the back of the 5X Control
Chassis only (See Figure 2-5.1). The RIB
serves as the central point for all communi-
cations and power, and is used only in the
5X control chassis. The RIB provides
termination/connection points for incoming
power, a JCI100, incoming & outgoing
network, Breaker Termination Boards, and a
breaker selection jumper. Figure 2-5.2
illustrates the various connections on a RIB.
The following SUBSECTIONS provide further
detail on the terminations & connections
found on the RIB.
CAUTION
The proceeding subsections cover
parts that are relatively fragile. Little
pressure is required when making
connections to the following parts.
Forcing any connections can cause
damage to the equipment. Further,
before connecting or disconnecting
any of the following parts, switch the
secondary power switch to the “Off”
position. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the equipment.
2-5-1 INCOMING POWER PORT
Located in the lower right corner of the RIB
are two white power connectors. These
connectors are suited to the connector
found on the wire leads extending from the
line filter. Both ports are electrically
interconnected, which means that it does not
make a difference which connection point is
used. However, for consistency it is best to
use the top connector. The connectors on
the RIB have a limiter device; the limiter
device assures that the connection is made
in the proper way.
2-5-2 JCI100 CONNECTION PORTS
Located on each side of the RIB are two
long white columns. These columns are the
connection ports for the JCI100 controller.
These ports match the pinout configuration
and dimensions of the connections found on
the back of the JCI100.
2-5-3 INCOMING & OUTGOING
NETWORK CONNECTION
Located in the upper right of each RIB are
two pull-a-part terminal blocks used for
terminating the network wire. Both terminal
blocks are electrically interconnected
meaning that it does not matter which
terminal block is used for incoming or
outgoing network connection.
2-5-4 BTB CONNECTION PORTS
On the upper right and left corner of each
RIB is a connection port for a single Breaker
Termination Board. To secure the connec-
tion there are two metal prongs, which latch
over the connector on the Breaker Termina-
tion Board once it is inserted into the
connectors found on the RIB. When joining
these two parts together, make sure to pull
these metal prongs over the connector on
the Breaker Termination Board. When
breaking this connection, gently push pack
on the metal prongs and pull the connectors
on the Breaker Termination Boards away.
